I don't care who or what he raped he is still entertaining.
I'm sure a lot of the famous people I like are terrible people. But that is none of my business...

At this point I'm surprised Jello doesn't sue him for damages to their brand. Contract expired a long time ago, and statue of limitations apply in this case

Because he wasn't directly involved with their brand, which btw is "Jell-O", rather than Jello.
He made more references to pudding pops than he every did with jello, anyways.

Chuck Norris.
Steven Seagal.
One's a Bible thumping loon and the other is a coward who picks on people who can't fight back and sexually assaults co-stars.
I sure know how to pick 'em!

You can sue for defamation no matter how it happens, other cases could be argued too though none are a real exact fit. But the time period passed is probably the main reason that I believe. I doubt jell-O would want it public anyway if they did sue him so who knows. Suing for Defamation is one thing, launching what would be a successful suit is another. You would also have to provide a reasonable case as to why you believe the defamation has hurt your name, brand, or profitability in both the short, and long term.

It's actually easier, and more damaging to Cosby, to boycott him at this point, than to sue him for money he doesn't have.

How is that going for Jesse Ventura anyway? Haven't heard an update in a long while. I have no idea who the *** Jesse Ventura is.

Ex military ex pro wrestler, actor too I think and politically outspoken forget if he ran for anthing. The American Sniper movie and more the book it was based off of, there was this point that the author who the movie and book is about, said some really bad things about Jesse Ventura. And he immediately sued for defamation as soon as it was published. Apparently the person the author met in a bar was anonymous until near publishing he changed it to Jesse Ventura. Basically whoever it was said bad things about ex military people and pissed a ton of people off. Last i heard he was winning. My folks liked Jesse Ventura so I might be biased I didn't know who he was either. I heard he got that part of the book removed from the movie too so... He was governor for a while, I forget which state.

Pretty soon all state governors will be ex body builders or ex wrestlers and actors. And supremacy will be decided by who's movie performs best at the box office. Personally I'm waiting to see which state elects Hulk Hogan.

as funny as that is, they don't do it for our benefit, they do it for their own. That was the point. If they're going to do whatever they want, they may as well entertain our trivial whims while they're at it. I mean, it keeps getting them elected to spout ***, so just let's have them spout *** in-character.
Don't even pretend you can't see someone winning by a landslide if they cosplayed as Slave Leia or Lion-O for an entire campaign.
Alternatively, just have them dress up at early 20th century robber-barons. Then they're being honest and olde-timey. A few steampunk elements will entice the kids.

And this goes for anyone that wants to change anything not just you.
Why should the rest of everybody have to change? What if we all like being wrong? What about public restrooms?
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
